Uma revisão sistemática de literatura das extensões da KAOS (Knowledge Acquisition in Automated Specification)

Abstract

Knowledge Acquisition in Automated Specification (KAOS) is a Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering approach that supports requirements engineers in modelling the systems. KAOS is composed by a method, a modelling language, and a software tool. Modelling languages can be extended to different domains. The modelling language KAOS has been extended to various domains/application areas such as system security, adaptive systems and aspects. However, identifying whether there is an extension for it domain or a proposed list constructs has been proposed, to use of an existing extension or as a basis for creating a new one, can be a challenging task. We believe the KAOS will continue to be extended, thus to identify existing KAOS extensions can be helpful to researchers who create new extensions and requirements engineers who need to use existing ones. This work aims to present a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of KAOS extensions through the identification and analysis of existing extensions and their constructs. Results point to 22 identified extensions and 127 proposed constructs. Extensions and constructs were analysed according to defined issues. We classified KAOS extension by application area as one of the results of our analysis. The results point to the need for a more complete, consistent and careful development of KAOS extensions. Finally, this work presents future discussions and guidance for this research area.
